The latest surface-control version isn't installable for me.

My distro doesn't have libudev:

# apt install libudev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package libudev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libudev' has no installation candidate

I have a libudev1 package though.

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo (development branch)
Release:        21.04
Codename:       hirsute

Expected Behaviour

It should install like usual.

Actual Behaviour

# apt upgrade surface-control

Its groundhog day!

New surface-control packages should be on their way.

The jury is still debating if we will ever learn how debian names libraries.

Oof yeah sorry about that. Should have checked the actual package repositories instead of relying on the google page 1 results for libudev <distro>...

qzed commented 3 years ago

I believe it should work now.

danielzgtg commented 3 years ago

I am now able to install the package successfully

linux-surface / repo

Can't upgrade `surface-control` as my distro doesn't have `libudev` #6
